Create a client secret

Caution

Client secret authentication is not recommended for long-term automation, and we recommend using workload identity federation when possible. Client secrets expire, require manual rotation and manual updates in your pipeline/repository variables.

• Select Certificates & secrets > Client secrets > New client secret
• Enter a description for the secret (e.g. Maester DevOps Secret)
• Select Add
• Copy the value of the secret, we will use this value in the Azure Pipeline
